Beautiful


I think that Keira Knightley is one of the most beautiful women in the world. I believe I've watched almost every movie that she has been in. She doesn't seem too flashy to me and most pictures I found she didn't seem to be wearing a ton of makeup.
About 6 months ago I decided not to buy any new make up until I was completely finished with the make up I have in my bathroom. It's difficult when I get Ulta emails daily with the newest trends and coupons. But so far I've stayed true to my commitment. This made me wonder how many women out there have tons and tons of make up they never use? I looked up some statistics and women spend an average of $13,000 in a lifetime on makeup. The survey also stated 70% of women won't leave the house without makeup. One in 5 women stated there boyfriends have never seen them without makeup, even in bed.
What are we afraid of? Don't get me wrong I wear makeup and I try to make it as natural as possible. Its been easier since I left my job to be ok with going out without any on. I want to feel beautiful too but make up isn't going to do that for me. What makes me feel beautiful is when my friend calls me a sweetheart because I volunteered to watch her boys. Or when a friend tells me she cried because I sent her a thoughtful card. Even when my son says "Mommy, your beautiful", right when I've gotten out of bed with no make up and my hair looks like Medusa. I want my character to be beautiful, I want people to describe me as caring, loving, and fun.
What do you find beautiful?
